The project concept addresses a valid problem in event management, but the submission contains significant red flags and false claims. The target audience is inaccurately claimed as 'everyone' for a B2B venue tool, and the traction claim that 'most people have used my product' is entirely fabricated given the lack of verifiable users and a 2025 launch date. Citing 'all time marketcap: 500000' as monthly revenue further undermines the project's credibility, resulting in a negative overall score.

Project Details

Description
At M.A.P. our aim is to develop new solutions that drive event success, enabling venues to de-risk shows with an accurate picture of expected profits ahead of time. Our first platform will employ machine learning and AI to help predict the success of an event based upon a series of key success factors (e.g.,ticket sales, ticket price, competing concerts, weather, national holidays). Our goal is to generate an increasingly reliable estimate of the expected number of tickets prospective artists should be able to sell at a venue.
